Last week they ordered me to bed,
But I preferred T.V. instead
So I broke stuff around the house,
Until they turned on Mickey Mouse.

SpongeBob: Are you Flats' dad?
Flats' Dad: Why, yes, I am!
SpongeBob: Okay! See, I didn't know where else to turn! Patrick couldn't help me, and Mrs. Puff only made it worse! I sit next to your son, Flats, in school, and he is a fine boy, and all, and I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but... he wants to kick my butt!
Flats: Dad, what're you doing?
Flats' Dad: U-Uh, n-nothing, son...
Flats: What did I tell you about talking to strangers?
Flats' Dad: (to SpongeBob) Now he's gonna kick my butt!

"Not long ago Joseph threw a boot at me and I thought he'd broken my jaw. How can my child who loves his mum hurt me in this way? He's wielded knives at me, he's gone at me with a hammer. He's getting bigger, he's getting stronger. One day he might hit me and I might not come back from that."
